Near Burford the River Windrush is "a narrow water, reedy and often iris-fringed. It was the setting for that idyllic romance of Compton Mackenzie, Guy and Pauline. If you want to understand the lure of this bird-haunted water, you cannot do better than re-read that story in which we follow the moods of the river through the year" Quote from http://www.british-towns.net/en/level_2_display_ByL1.asp?GetL1=141
